Philip Bloomer, LCSW, LICSW

Philip Bloomer is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, trauma, and related concerns. He brings 11 years of clinical experience and a straightforward, nonjudgmental approach. He aims to help people identify what matters to them and take manageable steps toward those goals.

Philip looks at life as a whole. He considers relationships, physical health, thinking patterns, past experiences, and what gives life meaning. In sessions he asks questions, listens closely, and helps people sort out priorities and next steps. He values honesty and openness in the therapeutic relationship.

Philip trained later in life, earning a Master’s degree in Social Work after an earlier career. He holds LCSW and LICSW credentials and has worked across a range of mental health and substance use concerns. He also draws on personal experience with recovery and mental health to inform his clinical perspective.

In the first visit he gathers background and current concerns so he can tailor support. He uses a mix of methods to help people manage problems and move toward what they want. His hour is usually during standard office times, Monday to Friday, and he has accommodated different schedules before.

Philip is based in Kentucky and conducts sessions in English. He invites prospective clients to share their story and to work together on the next chapter of their lives.

How Philip’s approaches translate to online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters and take small actions that align with their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and life changes where motivation and direction are concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression. It often involves practical exercises between sessions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and collaborating with the person to set goals and pace the work.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Philip works with clients to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences and may combine elements from different approaches as needed. The first sessions focus on gathering information and finding a good match between method and the person's needs.

Confirm current session options before booking since specific online formats were not listed. Many people find online work helps fit therapy into busy lives - it can make scheduling easier, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Philip aims to help clients integrate sessions into everyday routines so progress continues between meetings.
